Itchy Dandruff since 1 month

2019-01-26 04:56:11
My friend has noticed dandruff in the past one month. It's visible with dry and small flakes. She was suggested to use Topisol and Cosalic for a month. She tried to read the uses of the above medications and now she's confused she has scalp psoriasis. Is there a way to distinguish between dandruff and scalp psoriasis. Are the 2 different? Does she need any oral medication?
